Ultrafilters on $G$-spaces

Abstract

For a discrete group GG and a discrete GG-space XX, we identify the Stone-\v{C}ech compactifications βG\beta G and βX\beta X with the sets of all ultrafilters on GG and XX, and apply the natural action of βG\beta G on βX\beta X to characterize large, thick, thin, sparse and scattered subsets of XX. We use GG-invariant partitions and colorings to define GG-selective and GG-Ramsey ultrafilters on XX. We show that, in contrast to the set-theoretical case, these two classes of ultrafilters are distinct. We consider also universally thin ultrafilters on ω\omega, the TT-points, and study interrelations between these ultrafilters and some classical ultrafilters on ω\omega.
